His transformation to ape mode is unique and looks cool either in the traditional knuckles to the ground pose, or standing up with his arms out like he's about to pound on someone. One of my favorite figures of the line.

I agree, I have had a lot of fun with Apeface. He's one of my favorites from WFC

I think SIEGE Apeface is pretty great also, and that people overblow the impact not having the sloped intakes has on the jet/starfighter mode. I'd say the one real downside is not having a hinge or something in the shield so that you don't have to take it off to get at the true cockpit.

Speaking of Apeface, now that I have TR Chromedome I can replicate a certain shot from The Headmasters.

So, 2 quick questions:

1) Is there any version of Siege Megatron that works with Deluxe Centurion's energon mace? I'd like to get a Megatron that could use it with little problem, but I'd much prefer Siege's sword/turret over Earthrise's

2) Has anyone tried to make a tower-mode for Six-Gun yet? I think I have something, but I'm having trouble finding a place to plug him in Metroplex that doesn't look obviously tacked on.

I have a siege Megs and he have the mace. But the mace being full clear plastic and uncomfortably tight, I had to sand down the peg a bit.

But is it the original Siege mold, one of the Trilogy retools (the 3-pack with Captive Pinpointer and Captive Lionizer and the "Spoiler Pack" with Skelivore), or the Premium Finish one? Because I know the original has issues already, I'm just not sure if they fixed it for the others.

Here's the first Netflix Megatron with the mace from the centurion drone weapon pack. Works fine for me.

I have the first Netflix version.

Ok, thanks guys.

I had to sand the peg on my mace down too. I gave it to Selects Arctic camo Megatron, the only version of the siege mold I got outside of Shattered Glass

Resurrecting an old thread because this was the lat time we had Seibertron at SDCC. 2019 feels much longer ago than it really is. Also, reading the tread fom that date one puts into perspective that the fabled phantomstrike set was not rare at all, nor did it sell out quickly. we just had a lot of product out at the same time, very accessible to americans, and fans prioritized what they wanted. Some fans were not willing to pay for those extra bits that padded the Siege Skywarp set and missed out. But everyone who was willing to pay full price for that set at the time got one.

Is there a matrix adapter for Optimus? I know there is a brick that glows, but I mean a brick with a slot compatible with the matrix mold form Earthrise Optimus, 86 hot rod, kingdom Galvatron....

Because It's a question about Seige Optimus. Where would I post it, the legacy thread? :lol:

Siege Optimus have no matrix chamber so such a part would be only for the bot mode.

Look up Shapeway if their crappy search engine allows it.

No. His chest doesn't open on the Voyager. The Leader Class can use the same adapter for Ultra Magnus.

That's not a "matrix chamber". That's just the transformation hole hor his head to go in. That's why I said such a part will only be good for the bot mode. It will need to be a fully custom part.

Just look it up on eBay or Shapeway. If it exists, good. If not, either you make it yourself or you pay the price by commissioning it.

Hmmmmm... There are a few things I'd like to commission someone for. I just don't know who.

Yeah, Siege Prime cannot fit the matrix that came with figures starting in ER. That hole is just big enough for his head and not wide enough for the matrix. You would need a 3P accessory that mimmicks just the matrix core itself.

Damnation...I went for my Crosshairs which was put aside for a long time now and his left arm (as I look to his front side) was loose some and I don't recall this! :BANG_HEAD:

Has anyone had this happen or am I just this lucky and my thanks in advance? :VEHI:

Which joint of the arm? Elbow, front-back in-out, or his transformation joint? The latter two on mine are somewhat more loose than the rest on both sides, so he can't really hold up anything heavy like a weapon made of Weaponizer parts.

Just a drop of super glue in the joint then you move it constantly as it dry. It will stiffen the joint just right. That's what I did with my Legacy Select Cyclonus and it worked like a charm.

News Credits: 2 · by **Nemesis Destron** » Thu Oct 27, 2022 3:43 pm

@ Jelze....thanks for testifying, just a bit of weight of his weapon can cause that arm to dip. Like I said I didn't even notice this. There's no issue in the arm going front to back just that only range of motion...hmmm.

@ Kanrabat....thanks for that fix it idea I may just try that if it bothers me enough :-P

but I'm a bit glad it wasn't just my figure :VEHI:

No problem!
The pin joint of my Cyclonus was so loose, he couldn't even keep his arm up. The super glue trick fixed that problem in a jiffy. Just make sure you put just one tiny drop and then move the arm at the problematic joint for 3 to 7 minutes. You'll feel the joint get stiffer and stiffer as the glue dry. If you don't move the joint at all when the glue dry, you know where this will be going.
